Bigot scores from behind the girder. 32-6. Pub.
-
Try monster Watts sharks in from 15m ish. 32-0.
-
Jake squirts in after some to an fro. 26-0. Not enough scoring opportunities from TOX and no score when they do threaten.
-
Yeah, pretty quiet really but hardly one way traffic on the pitch tbh.
-
Watts again pops one out. Milner scores. 20-0.
-
Penalty and drop out leads to nowt but shortly Edvalds releases ToXiii pressure. 12-0.⁸
-
After some repeated sets Gardener Greg sprouts prettily.6-0. Pretty enough.

If the players and coaches don't try and cheat and just play within the laws of the game then the referee doesn't affect the game.
Instead of calling the officials you should be calling out the people who are forcing the officials to make decisions that people moan about.
I agree without conceding one iota of my point. I wasn't meaning to criticise any refereeing (though possibly could if requested) just arguing against the notion that the Ref doesn't influence the result of a game and he cannot get it wrong. Or that a players mistake absolves the Referee from any justified criticism.
Yes the players make it difficult but if you get the loose carry/rip etc decision more times than not then what's to be done?
Much prefer the recent games now the Sin Bin Madness Mode has been switched off.

All the comments about what the referee is doing or not doing, can't you enjoy the game without concerning yourself about the refereeing decisions?
No. It's a massive part of the game play. Or else why are they there if not to affect the game.

Good start by Wigan, seemed to have a stranglehold on it and then kind of lost in the last 15 mins.
Strange isn't it. I thought Hull was stronger all over the 40 mins. Took longer than I thought before scoring though.

WOOP WOOP!
90M intercept for Barrow.
An interception, but is he fast enough for Super League defence? Errrrrr.....yeah....
-
Thought the Ref did ok(5-1 HT penalty count!) The game was helped by less pointless penalties and sin bins. Cas won ofcourse...
-
Didn't see the match but reading the comments its seems like a match killed off at 20 -25 mins. For no apparent, obvious reason.
Some ideological purity might have been maintained here but at what cost to say.... The Game.
Again I missed the match but it all feels familiar.

Spouses response to tonight's result:
'I wish I was there'.
This is a Tolouse bar(s) not the match. Have one for me Tolouse.

As someone with no dog in the fight (other than an irrational and visceral hatred of Cas), I think it’s brilliant.
With Wakey winning, It’s been a day for the underdog. As a neutral, it’s fantastic entertainment
I know. As a RL fan I'm thinking this is fantastic.
As a Cas fan............. less so.

As Hicks gone rogue. At least 3 occasions where cards should by current interpretation been given. Not complaining all were penalties only for me and its been a great game
He did Cas v Hfc and was a breath of fresh air.

It's not just about avoiding being sued. The sport won't be allowed to exist in today's world of duty of care if it doesn't act.
Typed this earlier but feared being mocked..... anyway, yes, if these such incidents are deemed overly dangerous then the RFL has a moral imperative to stop the game as pretty much any tackle 'could' result in injury to the head. Duty of care.
RL is a gold mine imo and here we are watching this.

Teams being reduced to 12 men for an eighth of the game is reason to let the game die? There have been 2 sin bins in this game tonight and it's not made any difference whatsoever. It rarely does make a difference.
It does make you wonder why they sin bin players in the first place if it rarely makes a difference.
What fun is Conner? There's a bit of Tomas Bosc about him I think?

Crackers game really. State of Origin it wasnt but on C4 it would have been blast. Still formulating thoughts on the Ref who I thought helped make a good entertaining game.
-
Cas score from kick off. Wheres the hooter?

This is the nightmare fixture for a certain noisy subset of forum members - their desire for Wigan to lose is fighting the yearning to see an expansion team also lose.
I was getting very excited about this scoreline then I remembered I'm a Cas fan. Oh Hell!

As I understand it it's not important because Reffing is a difficult job, it's the players who knock on and these decisions don't affect the result. Apparently. Not watching the btw. And no, I'm not about to train to be a referee.
